It’s Barry Rant Time!

You got it!

Wake your arse up because it’s……

Drum role please…

BARRY RANT TIME!

What the heck did I just read this morning?

What the heck did you read this morning?

Headline:

“US trails 41 countries in life expectancy”

NO POO!!

I would of guessed 50th!

OK….we all know that we have a VERY HIGH obesity rate here in
America…

BUT

(OH, FIRST THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL DISCUSSION….I do not talk about
politics and religion )

OK…where was I??

Oh yeah….

BUT…..

To use ‘NOT having health insurance more available to Americans’ as
one of the excuses for our ….. (boy I want to let it rip!)

You have got to be kidding me!

I guess it’s Blue Cross and Blue Shieds fault that the lines at
Burger King, McDonald’s, Dunkin Donuts, Krispy Kreams, Wendy’s and
all of the other HEALTH FOOD stores are ALWAYS full.

My gosh….

When are we going to wake up and realize that not moving and
filling our bodies with junk IS a health care issue?

So a newborn in 2004 will live an average of 77.9 years in the
United States…

That’s IF this baby is taken care of properly…

Fed nutritous foods….

Taught to be active by walking, hiking, bike riding, playing a
sport, taking up dance..SOMETHING….

Not JUST sitting….

I just spoke about a new born that a VERY HIGH % of parents will
feed terrible foods starting at a young age…we know
this…there is NO denying it…

Now…

Take your brand new car….BRAND NEW…

Park it!

DO NOT MOVE IT!

LET IS SIT!

But….

Put some sugar in to the gas tank….

Throw some tar in the engine…

Add a little acid to the anti freeze…

Now, after about 4 years….

GO START IT…

Try to take it for a ride…

Try to MOVE IT!

Hmmmmmmmmm…….

How do you think it is going to run?

IT WON’T!

Now…

Start a petition to your local congressman and tell them your car
insurance should help pay for your car because..

You fed it junk….

Did not move it…..

etc….

We would NEVER let that happen to our car…

Never..

We would never let our landscaping become ‘nasty’…OH NO!!!! How
will one live without the perfect lawn!!?!?!?

We will spend hours on our car and landscaping on the weekends….

We will spend hours…weeks…months putting in a new kitchen or
new floor in our houses….

We will put all our energy into an upcoming wedding for a loved
one….and I mean LOTS…for that PERFECT and EXPENSIVE day..then
what..

POOF THAT DAY IS GONE!

Meanwhile….we taxed our bodies

We will NOT put time into ourselves!

We will NOT take 10, 15, 20 minutes to go for a walk with our
family…

Let’s take the blame…..

It all starts at home…

In the house….

Help your friends by teaching them healthy living..

NOT PERFECT…

Just help them make changes….

More veggies, fruit and whole grains….

Less red meat in their diet…

Less Whole Milk…..

Less processed foods…..

Help them make a change for the better…

It ALL starts at home….

It’s not McDonald’s fault that their wrapping and golden oaks
attract 4-year olds…..the PARENTS are driving them there and
paying for it….NOT the little 4-year old…

That’s another rant

When I mention ‘YOU’ throughout this email it is not pointed at
YOU…it is us as a society…

We need to make changes to better ourselves…

Not count on others to do it for us

Thanks for your time and please do your part and
spread the word to your freinds and family

In Good Health,

Barry
